My heart pounded as I stared at Mark, his vague words echoed in my mind, ‘It's not safe for you to know, Chloe.’ But I needed to know, I thought. He couldn't expect me to act like nothing happened and everything was fine, what could he be hiding? My thoughts wandered as I stared at him.
“What is it, Mark,” I pressed, my voice shaking lightly. “I deserve to know,” I stared at him, my heart racing.
Mark's eyes fixed on mine as he slowly contemplated, I could hear the gears in his mind clicking into place already. He sighed, and a pang of concern hit me, he looked exhausted. “Okay, fine…” Mark’s eyes locked on mine, “I'll tell you.”
My breath caught in my throat as he began speaking.
“I came back, to find something,&rd
ChloeMy heart raced as Mark leaned in, his lips brushing mine with one delicious contact. His hands reached behind my head, catching fistfuls of my hair and he angled my face, kissing me deeply.“ohh—Mark,” I moaned his name softly as I nibbled at his lips, my hands curled around him as I hugged him tightly. His hands were everywhere as they roamed my body, leaving trails of fire that made me wish for more.My body pressed willingly against him as he took charge, his body leading me on. Mark broke off the kiss and he pressed his forehead against mine, his eyes glowing with a fervent light. “I want you,”
Chloe. My breaths were shaky as I stared at where Pascal had been standing just moments ago. His words still echo in my mind. My body shuddered, Mark's life was in danger. “You should go home,” Mark's face was dark like an impending storm as he spoke. “I have some things to do, I can't take you back,” Mark turned to leave. “Mark, wait,” my breath caught and I clutched his hands, “You shouldn't…” “You have to leave, now,” Mark snapped coldly, as he turned to glare at me, his eyes glowed. “Leave now!” My heart skipped a beat, Mark looked on the brink of lashing out. But I couldn't leave him, not like this. “No,” I shook my head, “I'm not leaving, we have to talk. You…” I gasped as Mark wrenched his hand out of my grasp. “Leave,” His eyes softened for a brief second, regaining their human look before it was gone, replaced by a feral look. “Mark,” I gasped but he was already gone, his body morphing into a werewolf as he disappeared into the trees. Where was he going? My heart thudd
Chloe The heat from the encroaching flames was horrific, I couldn't breathe and my eyes watered as smoke stung my eyes. My mind raced with thoughts as I looked around, looking for a way out. The other lady—Nina, was crouched behind the desk, her face was slick with sweat. “What do we do?” she asked, coughing violently, she covered her nose with the other end of the shawl I'd brought.“I…” My eyes watered as my eyes were stinging from the fumes. I'd been looking around for my cell phone, the fumes obscured my vision. “Look around if you can find my cell phone,” I glanced at Nina as I wheezed, she nodded to show understanding. We split up, with Nina checking one side while I checked the other, the fumes were suffocating. To my relief, the fire didn't seem to be advancing further, if given enough time, it would die out without enough oxygen and flammable things to burn on. We didn't have the luxury of time, my vision blurred for a split second and I staggered almost falling to the flo
Mark. My heart pounded as I stared at the derelict building, the blare of the fire service trucks filled the air. My hands tightened around my cell phone, and the memory of Chloe's words echoed in my mind. My nerves tightened as I watched the firefighters battle it out with the raging flames. I could hear their shouts as they communicated, waves of guilt crashed into me with every lifeless body that was brought out. A mix of guilt and relief when I didn't see Chloe's body brought out. No! She couldn't be dead, I clenched my hands tightly, staring at the building of what was once my company. My eyes reddened as I watched the rescue efforts, I stood there for hours, waiting, hoping. A stab of pain coursed through me as I stared at the building of what was once my company, who could've done this? my eyes narrowed as thoughts swirled in my head. I cursed the fact that I couldn’t transform and storm the building to find Chloe. “Mr. Mark?” one of the firefighters approached me, his clo
Chloe. “What!” I thought I misheard, her words ripped into me and I stared at her with wide eyes. What was she even talking about?“Yes,” Jane nodded, her eyes fixed on me, “It was a murder attempt, Chloe, their target was…” Jane's eyes flashed, as though considering something, “Their target was your father.”My belly tightened into knots as I listened to her and I held my head with my hands, all these years I'd thought bad luck was to blame for the accident, a freak happening of nature. Little did I know, my breath caught in my throat, unknowingly my cheeks were already wet with tears. “Why?” I wiped my eyes, “Why would anyone try that?” My voice shook as a lump formed in my throat. “Do you know who it is?” I looked up from my cup of tea. “I don't know,” Jane's lips trembled, “I wish I did. It all happened so fast.” I shook my head as I listened to her, “Why did you never come back to take me?” I tried and failed to keep the tremor out of my voice. My eyes welled up with tears,
Mark. The air was tense as I glared at Vincent, ready to take action. How dare he? My eyes glowed, my wolf snarling, trying to take the reins. Chloe, waves of rage burst out of me. “You have one last chance, Vincent,” I roared. “I could tell you the same, Mark,” Vincent smiled, but his eyes held a murderous glint. “You're nothing but an illegitimate child trying to bite off more than he can chew,” Vincent spat as he glared at my men in the surroundings. “Is this who all of you are willing to lower your heads too? this… fool?” An outburst burst out amongst the men as they all glared at Vincent, I felt a small joy as I saw their response, these were my men. “Enough talk,” I scoffed, my rage already exceeding my threshold. I snarled, about to change. “Hold it right there,” a voice shouted in our ears, and a piercing pain erupted in my head, I groaned as I stumbled to the ground, clutching my head. Vincent wasn't doing any better, he got down on one knee and held his head as well, his
CHLOEAnxiety and worry filled me like an ever present being, always at the core of my person. My worry for Mackenzie and Rachel amplified by multiple folds. Jane and I drove out of manhattan like two normal people just heading out of town. I couldn’t wait to call Rachel but Jane suggested I waited a little. Just when I thought I couldn’t take it anymore, Jane pulled over at a mini mart“We’ll get a burner phone so you can call Rachel, let her know you are okay, but you can’t tell her where you are.”I didn’t even know exactly where we were but I knew we were somewhere on the outskirts of Drewsy, the vast acres of trees that surrounded Drew
ChloeIt all happened so fast. After Mark killed Calvin, and declared that I was his mate. Vincent smiled a treacherous smile and roared to his wolves.“Attack!”The wolves on Vincent’s and Mark’s side of the circle began to transform as they ran at each other. They’d only gone a few steps when they all crashed to their knees, howling in pains unimaginable. A man could be seen slowly making his way towards us at the center with his hands held at his side. The look on his face was unmistakable. Utter disgust.“Now boys I know I did not consent to oversee this duel just to get front row seats to my nephews destroying the Pack their father died to protect.”I was stunned to watch this utmost display of power from Pascal. One of the pack elders. No one talks about his gifts. But now it’s clear why no
